Wu, Theodore Y.-T. (Theodore Yao-tsu)
Blow-up or No-Blow-up? Fluid Dynamics Perspective of the Clay Millennium Problem [lecture], October 7, 2011.
Lecture recording sponsored by the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories of the California Institute of Technology (GLACIT) and the Department of Aerospace which features Professor Theodore Y. Wu, Jain-Ming (James) Wu, Thomas Y. Hou, and Guruswami Ravichandran as speakers examining one of the Seven Millennium Problems posted by the Clay Mathematical Institute. Review of some recent theoretical and computational studies of the 3D Euler equations, which show that there is a subtle dynamic depletion of nonlinear vortex stretching due to local geometric regularity of vortex filaments. Presentation of new class of solutions to the 3D Euler and Navier-Stokes equations that could lead to a strong nonlinear alignment in the vortex stretching term and have the potential to develop a finite time vortex sheet singularity.

Chinese-American Engineer, Theodore Y. Wu, was professor of engineering science, emeritus, in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science. Dr. Wu was born in China and received his BSc from ChiaoTung University (1946), his MS from Iowa State University (1948), and his PhD from Caltech (1952). His research areas include fluid dynamics, free-streamline theory of cavities, jets and wakes, water waves and free-surface flows, wind and ocean-current energy, and internal waves in the ocean.
